Encyclopedia of Mathematical Physics, Second Edition provides a complete resource for researchers, students and lecturers with an interest in mathematical physics. It enables readers to access basic information on topics peripheral to their own areas, to provide a repository of the core information in the area that can be used to refresh even the experienced researcher's memory, and aid teachers in directing students to entries relevant to their course-work. The impressive amount of information in this work has been distilled, organized and presented as a complete reference tool to the user and a landmark to the body of knowledge that has accumulated in this domain. It also is a stimulus for new researchers working in mathematical physics - or in areas using the methods originating from work in mathematical physics - by providing them with focused high-quality background information."

Inhaltsverzeichnis

It is planned to keep broadly the structure of the previous edition, adding and expanding topics as necessary. For this edition we have grouped together many of the topic areas to be included (left side of table below), in order to facilitate assigning them to the Section Editors: Classical Mechanics Classical, Conformal and Topological Field Theory Condensed Matter and Optics Disordered Systems Dynamical Systems Equilibrium Statistical Mechanics Fluid Dynamics Gauge Theory General Relativity Integrable Systems Nonequilibrium Statistical Mechanics Quantum Field Theory Quantum Gravity Quantum Information and Computation Quantum Mechanics String Theory and M-Theory Mathematics Subjects Algebraic Techniques Algebraic Topology Complex Geometry Differential Geometry Discrete Mathematics Functional Analysis and Operator Algebras Lie Groups and Lie Algebras Low Dimensional Geometry Noncommutative Geometry Ordinary and Partial Differential Equations Quantization Methods and Path Integration Quantum Groups Stochastic Methods Symplectic Geometry and Topology Variational Techniques
